Mark your calendars, parents. You don't want to miss a chance to save at Build-a-Bear Workshop.

The company just announced its first "Pay Your Age" event, set for July 12. The Build-a-Bear store in La Palmera will open its doors at 9 a.m., an hour earlier than usual, officials said.

Guests who visit a Build-A-Bear Workshop can pay their current age in dollars, for any make-your-own furry friend.

In a Facebook post, Build-A-Bear confirmed the event is real.

"The rumors are true," the post reads. "For one day only, you can pay your age for ANY, we repeat, ANY furry friend at the Workshop."

So how does it work?

It's simple. Your age determines how much your new furry friend will cost. Clothes and accessories are not included.

Just make sure you're a Bonus Club member. You can sign up for free on the store's website.

On the day of the event, you may pay the age of any and all children who are with you in the store. The limit is only one furry friend per guest, the website states.

In case you're buying for yourself, the highest you will pay is $29. The lowest price is set at $1, even if the child is less than 1 year old.

"No matter their age, guests will pay no more than $29 ... for any furry friend in stock in the store," the website states. "A Guest who is 40 years old, for example, will only pay $29 for a furry friend valued at $35."
